Hello. I am trying to make a serial RS 232C connection between Schneider Magelis HMIGXU3512 and Omron PLC CP1E. However, there seems to be a communication problems between both of the equipment. I am using cable XBT Z9740 for the serial communication cable. The format used is 8.2.N for both equipment. The baud rate is 115200. No Flow Rate is choose. Anyone can help with this kind of problems?

Hi Guys
I was wondering if any one of you could tell me how to set up some basic button functions?
I need a basic instruction on how the followering button setup, could be done on the HMI, preferable with exaples or tutorials etc.
!!! I´m working with the current setup: NX1P2, using Sysmac Studio, Module version 1.25.1.0, along with a NA5-Terminal, version 1.18 !!!
START_VALVE_1_BUTTON = Toggle, Momentary, Set or ?? - (Need the START_VALVE_1_BUTTON to activate ON_BUTTON & OFF_BUTTON flashing, indicating selection option, ON or OFF, meaning activating start valve 1 mode, or deactivate the mode).
START_VALVE_2_BUTTON = Toggle, Momentary, Set or ?? - (Need the START_VALVE_2_BUTTON to activate ON_BUTTON & OFF_BUTTON flashing, indicating selection option, ON or OFF, meaning activating start valve 2 mode, or deactivate the mode).
ON_BUTTON = Toggle, Momentary, Set or ?? - (Need the OK_BUTTON & the OFF_BUTTON to flash simoustaniously, after START_VALVE_1_BUTTON, or START VALVE_2_BUTTON has been pushed).
OFF_BUTTON = Toggle, Momentary, Set or ?? - (Need the ON_BUTTON & the OFF_BUTTON to flash simoustaniously, after START_VALVE_1_BUTTON, or START VALVE_2_BUTTON has been pushed).
!!! Hoping to hear BACK from some of you VERY soon, because I need the know_how ASAP. !!!
!!! Write soon !!!

Hello!
I am new at PLC programming. I am using TM221CE16R PLC with TM3AI8 analog input module and SoMachine Basic v1.6. I am trying to scale analog input value. I am using 4-20 mA pressure sensor. I managed my wiring so that I get raw values in SoMachine Basic. But I don't know how to scale these values to usable values. My sensor works in range 0 - 16 bar. What is best way to get values? Is it PID function block or multioperand function block using equations to get range 0 - 16?
I will appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, I have an M221 and trying to read process data from a HACH controller via Modbus 485.
In the Read_Var function block I need to configure ObjType, FirstObj, Quantity and IndexData. Slave ID is 3 and I am using SL2.
So, say if I wanted to read to following registers,
Register #40001, Data Type Integer, Length 1, Description- Sensor Measure
Register #40005, Data Type Float, Length 2, Description - Sensor Temp
Register #40007, Data Type String, Length 6, Description - Sensor Name
what do I put into the Read_Var function ?
I am completely new to this and it's just not clear to me.
Thanks
John

Hello. There is a controller FX5U-32MP in the presence, the inscription "CC-Link IE Field Basic" and the Inverter (FR-A840-00170-E2-60) near the connector, the inscription "CC-Link IE Field Basic" on the front panel.
I set up both devices according to the instructions.
It turns out to read the state of the inverter (state, frequency).
And I can not manage from the controller. Already all the settings that could have changed.
Can you scribble what is wrong?
p.s. Sorry for the bad english.

hey,
I'm making a program to controlle mutliple machines. But the problem is that i'm working on 2 plcs to controll it all, but there are some %MW that i need in both PLCs. Is there a way to connect the PLCs so they share these %MWs to both PLCs know what value is in it?

Hello All
I'd like to display data in 2 or 3 arrays as a graph on a KTP400, does anyone know of a way to do this, I know I could use a trend display , the only issue I have is that the array will be updated in around 10 to 20 msecs per element, and as far as I am aware the time between the trend values need to be 1 sec or more.
Any comments would be appreciated.

Is there a way to choose with %MW you use depending on the value of %SW49? For example, i have 7 %MW:
-%MW4 that needs to be active when %SW49 :=1
-%MW8 that needs to be active when %SW49 :=2
-%MW12 that needs to be active when %SW49 :=3
-%MW16 that needs to be active when %SW49 :=4
-%MW20 that needs to be active when %SW49 :=5
-%MW24 that needs to be active when %SW49 :=6
-%MW28 that needs to be active when %SW49 :=7
so is there a way to say %MW0 := %MW(4*%SW49) on a operation block?

Hi,
I'm working in so machine basic v1.5 and I'm wondering if it is possible to change the start time and stop time in a schedule block with a %MW. So is there a possibility to for example say %CH0.??? := %MW5 in an operation block? And is there a page where u can see al the possible codes. I already discovered that %TM0.P changes its preset but i don't find a list of al those possibility's.

Hello All,
I am having some issues with Excel while communicating with the Omron PLC. The Excel file is getting the data from the PLC and the macro doing what I want to do, but I am getting the following error messages when opening the excel file.
I am attaching the pictures of the messages and the code where debug send me.
Thank you very much in advance

hello.
I have developed project with 3 FX3U PLCs with ENET modules for communicating between them, and one of fx3u connected by profibus with 2 fx2n-32DP-IF I/O station (developed just hardware). This project still wait when customer accept it. I'm exactly sure that it will work perfectly. But now i think about exchange old and expensive fx3u to fx5u. I search for best solution for this task on fx5. I have a doubt with I/O station. Each remote station consist of 32 inputs,16 outputs, 8 AI.
So i considered as a solution CC-Link IE Basic because no need buy additional modules.
Did someone use fx5 CC-Link IEF Basic?
As i understand ie field basic configurations like simple rs485 cc-link with occupied station, not like full ie field. FX5U can be the master of CC-link IEF basic with embedded ethernet with 6 slaves station and can be local station with FX5-CCLIEF module.
But i not sure that i can use fx5 with NZ2 CC-Link IE Field Remote I/O. I have a doubt with configuration this station, because in CC-link IEF i can add this station and see how many rx/ry rww/rwr points i need, but for CC-link IEF basic configuration i can add just CC-link IEF basic module and choose number of occupied station.
Slave 1) NZ2GFCE3-32D + NZ2EX2S1-16T (32/16) and NZ2GF2BN-60AD4 + NZ2EX2B-60AD4 (8 AI).
Slave 2) NZ2GFCE3-32D + NZ2EX2S1-16T (32/16) and NZ2GF2BN-60AD4 + NZ2EX2B-60AD4 (8 AI).
So can it work if not what device can be used with CC-link IEF basic?
What benefits can give cc link ie field basic network than ethernet socket connection via UDP between 3 fx5 plcs?
Or easier way using ST lite series and try to connect via modbus tcp.(as i understand fx5 provide p502 and modbus tcp)

My intention is create a visual basic program with access (or excel), if possible with a Cold link (so I wake up when I need data only). See if you can orientate me about the best way and solve my doubts. I am pretty new to all this.
I have several Allan-bradley plc’s in the Ethernet network. Several PC’s with windows 8 and excel/acces in the latests versions
I have a server in the net where I have installed RSLINX gateway version. I have created a topic and I can see the PLC variables in there OK.
In rslinx commnications -> I have set the click “enable rslinx classic gateway”
I have run the OPC test client and it works OK according to some test Ihave found in google 8so OPC/DDE server is active etc)
I want to retrieve Data in My PC from the rslinx that is in that server called BCNA08. I have colleagues that know how to run the EDIT ->copyDDE/OPC link and create a HOT LINK in excel in the same computer for other versions of rslinx (lite I believe) that they had for tests purposes.
So I try the same but of course it does not work for a PC that is nor running RSlinx. My Rslinx is in BCNA08.
How can I set a hot link (excel continuos update) and cold link (visual basic open/close communication).
Any help or suggestions will be welcomed. Any good link to learn more too.

I'm using TM221CE40T PLC with TM3DI16 DI extension. I'm programming it using SoMachine Basic. In the program I implemented a counter (%C0). I've read in the documentation that %Ci.V stores the current count value. I want that to display this value on a Magelis HMIS5T. How could I store the current count value (%Ci.V)? Thanks in advance!

Hi folks,
I have just finished instruction how to connect PLC Mitsubishi with Visual Basic, this can help to make flexible HMI
Hope this will help some one who want to make HMI by Visual Basic
Even though, there is document from Mitsu guiding do that, but it's quiet taking a lot of time to comprehend the document.
Please visit my blog for detail instruction: http://engineer2you.blogspot.com/2015/12/plc-mitsubishi-and-visual-basic.html

Hello People, In my school we had an assignment to program a Sorting machine using an Omron PLC and CX-Programmer. Now we got the assignment to make an HMI that we can open on our own computer (Windows 8.1) so that we can control various things of our program, such as reading and writing bits, and other data (To the PLC obviously). Now I only have very little experience in reading and writing data from a PLC (Using a PC), I have used the libnodave library to connect to a Siemens S7-300 PLC. With this I managed to read and write bits, and also read and write data to a DataBlock. We wrote this program in Visual Basic 2013 using the .NET Framework with the libnodave library as an added extension. Now I have searched far and wide on the internet but have not come across any good examples of how to do this with an Omron PLC. So I hoped that I could get some advice from you guys. What I'm asking is if anybody here has maybe a link to a guide/ example program/ manual that could get me forward? And if I can easily get this done with Visual Basic, by adding an extension, could anybody tell me which extension this would be? And where I could find it? I appreciate any help. :D Thanks in advance, BitsNBytesRookie

Hello all, I am trying to download a new program to a AB 1746-BAS SLC 500 BASIC board via RS-232 connection through a Windows 98 laptop running Hyperterminal. While the BASIC board is connected I verify connection by waiting for the board to print out its information in the Hyperterminal program and then enter "CLEAR", "NEW" and finally, "LIST" in Hyperterminal to wipe any program from the board and verify the board is clean respectively. Then I load the new program via a .TXT file using the "Send Text File" option within the Hyperterminal program. After the program has finished loading I than type "LIST" to verify it has copied over correctly. I than switch the SLC over to "Program Mode" via the key. After doing so I type "RAM" to select the program i just uploaded to the BASIC board and then type "PROG" in the Hyperterminal program. I than receive the "Programming Sequence Failure". If anyone has any advice as to what I am doing wrong it would be greatly appreciated. Below is a list of everything I have set and researched. Thank you in advance, James -Laptop: Windows 98, Hyperterminal -BASIC board (programming): JW1 pin: 1-2 3-4 JW2 pin: 1-2 3-4 JW3 pin: 1-3 2-4 JW4 pin: 5-6 3-4 -RS-232 9-pin connector: Pin 2 connected to Tx Pin 3 connected to RX Pin 5 connected to ground Pins (4/6) crossed DSR/DTR Pins (7/8) crossed RTS/CTS -Hypterminal: Direct Com1 bits per second: 1200 parity: none stop bits: 1 Flow control: Xon/Xoff Settings/properties: -> Emulation VT100 -> ASCII line/character delay: 30 milliseconds check box: Append line check box: Wrap lines... -Manuals: 1746-rm001 1746-pm001
